"Meh"

date: March 19, 2008

An ok game, nice graphics, gameplay was solid enough. But the game was overall just very meh. There was nothing to distinguish it from the other millions of games of the same type. Also, I found that the quick attack wasn't generally quick enough. Didn't seem like much of a problem until you're getting attacked by multiple units all attacking at a different time, and since most of the units seemed to attack relatively instantly, it wasn't very hard for them to interrupt your swing with a swing of their own. It's not game breaking, but it's there. Also, the writing wasn't too great, just a little boring.

My narration skills need to improve, yeah I know :) I didnt concentrate too hard on it in this game though. I just had some fun with the storyline and saw where it led me, but maybe next time I should concentrate a bit more on that aspect as well. Sorry you found this game a bit meh.

"good"

i think that this game was good, but the background music got a bit repeditive, maybe different tracks for each level would work better... overall pretty good

I had to keep the amount of mucis down, because audio is one of the things that increases the filesize of the game immensely. I really wanted to put more songs in, but the filesize of the game just got way too big. Sorry.

"For a platformer.."

date: March 19, 2008

This isn't half bad, The animations and artwork is fluid and very well drawn and the storyline also held my attention so full kudos on that.

However like all platformers this game suffers from "Gang Rape". With different monsters all attacking you from all directions (Even above!) then your guard gets gang raped pretty damn well easily. If you do decide to make a sequel to this game then work on the monsters having a set pattern (within reason) as not all of them did.

Other than that i throughly enjoyed the game. Well done =D

Author's Response:

Okay, I'll try to improve on combat. I know this very well now, because an infinite amount of people have said the combat could be better. And a lot of people have mentioned exactly what and how to improve on it. Thanks. Yours helps too. Glad you liked the animation :)
Sorry about the gang rape, I'll try not to do that again.

"Great Game"

date: March 19, 2008

this was an awesome game, even though i haven't finished it yet, it has really well made graphics, a good plot and a really well made narrative story. The only thing i thought u could inprove on was the hp regain, the monsters keep rushing everywhere u are except for when ur going to a place. other than that it ws really well balanced and incredibly fun. keep up the good work and i hope to play ur future creations! this deserves 10 stars, o and maybe u can make up some terrain perks and stuff, for example the terrain is the mountain and the super works better there, and the grassland u attack faster. stuff like that, but those are just my suggestions.
NOTE:i think the princess should be dressed in their time
P.S. the monsters should attack slower...

P.P.S. i cant get pass the spider boss that pukes on u from the ceiling...

March 19, 2008

Author's Response:

Hahaha, yeah a lot of people have hang-ups with how the princess looks. I didnt think her appearance was so important, but boy was I wrong. People have even said they didnt want to play this game because who would want to save such an ugly princess? It makes me laugh, but I definitely understand it and will try to improve on my drawing skills to make hotter women :)

Thanks for the compliments man, Im glad you liked the game so much!

"nice tune"

date: March 19, 2008

not very creative, ive played more than 1000 games with the same concept. I think it was drawn well though and i like the ambient and the feeling of it. The music was spectacular, i left the game on for about an hour just to hear that song lol. Work on the story its been used over a million times and give it more graphics next time especially if its gonna be a game where u have to kill stuff we like to see more gore lol. oh and i liked the map idea pretty neat but this game reminds me so much of mario but more intense........

March 19, 2008

Author's Response:

Yeah the music is awesome :) MaestroRage rules!
Anyway, thanks for the compliments and the constructive criticism. I appreciate it.

"Good, needs work though"

date: March 19, 2008

Yeah, good, but if you included a pause function, and if the guy moved faster; like, faster to block and hit.
Though I did think the first level with the running was good, gave it a nice cinematic element. Good artwork, good combat system etc.

Thanks!
Yeah the game isnt perfect and I need to buff up my programming skills a lot more, but this is the best I could do for now. Glad you liked it!

"the game was soo awesome"

date: March 19, 2008

The game was fantastic, i didnt understand the title untill the end and the goblins were really hard. I figured out that since you dont have multiple lives your health recharges, so you have to wait befor you go into battle, for instince if you are in the forest and random creatures come out at you, you get hit and you wait until your health recharges, and when your in battle you take cover and do the same thing. Although, I found a little glitch when you opponent is infron of you and it keeps on hitting you, it slowly goes past you shield and hit you. Unother than that your game is awesome and i hope that you make more.

Thanks a lot man, I'll make more :)

"Nice"

by: Eepio
date: March 19, 2008

Great game, but it was a tad bit repetitive after I reached the Goblin Camp. It was encounter after encounter, much like Half-Life. Maybe if you added a shop or a map in which you could choose where to go, the game would have been less repetitive.

The storyline was cliche, bbut I always liked it. Don't know why, but I just do. Also, when I attempted to jump over a n attack this goblin did, I instantly went back to ground and was slaughtered. Wtf.

March 19, 2008

Author's Response:

Thanks!
Im glad you liked the game.
The thing about jumping is even if the axe/arrow would hit the bottom of your feet then you would still get hurt. I know it sucks but its just my bad programming skills. Im still learning and getting better everyday. Jumping does have its uses though at some points, but mostsly its just useless, sorry. Remember to use your shield :)
Thanks for the review!

"Too many problems."

date: March 19, 2008

While this game has great art, it's combat system is alright, but at the same time it was the largest problem. Getting hit hit while in the air with a projectile rolling on the ground is a bit ridiculous, same goes for arrows, and many more of the enemies. The game would've been far better had you fixed this. Also, too much walking distance at the start.

March 19, 2008

Author's Response:

Yeah the jumping is a problem. Surprisingly not too many people have complained about it. I now know how to prevent something like that with my future games, so all I can say for now is sorry. You cannot get hit by projectiles rolling on the ground. I know this for a fact. Only by flying axes and arrows, and if you jump at the right moment you can still get over even them, but its extremely hard. Im glad you liked the art!
Thanks :)
